Hope it's true, would be harsh on Steer, but would be foolish to go into the new season with untried keepers in the top flight.

If it's true I think Butland is potentially a massive signing for us.  Clear upgrade (in my opinion) in a key position.  Premier League experience, international experience, young but not a rookie, sell on value.

I’d be delighted if Phillips is true. Boundless energy between him and McGinn.

Wesley being signed without a hint of anyone hearing anything shows how little anyone is ITK. How anyone can claim to have insider knowledge and yet not have a clue about a record signing is beyond me.
Granted, but I don't think Wesleys mum works down the shops.

That team? If we have few injuries and set up correctly, then yes that is a mid table team.

We need 6 or 7 first team squad players as we let that number go.

He needs to sort his barnet out.  It's awful.

Possibly the worst hair-don't in professional football.

That team would be comfortable midtable and I think even if that's all the signings we'd have enough in the squad as emergency cover to get by through normal injuries.

I'm not so sure.  I'd like to see more choices in all four wide positions.  Solid looking spine though.

Elmo, Taylor, Bree, Green, Jota and Kodjia is plenty of cover, I wouldn't trust any of them to play 20-25 games but 2-3 here and there and some subs appearances would be fine.

The weak area for me would be up front, I think Davis has something to offer but probably only as the 3rd choice and I'm not sure Kodjia could play up front in the premier league.

We need extra up front. Far too much pressure to expect the new guy to be playing 35+ games. Get Maupay in too and I'll be happy with our options at centre-forward.

I’m still hoping Jack is going to convince Tammy to come back when he realises he isn’t going to get a game at Chelsea
